FSX Default Mesh Resolution?

Featured Replies

Just wondering if there is any detailed information anywhere as to what the default FSX mesh resolutions are.

Good question. In the beta i was flying over Asia and the mesh resolution seemed to be only 1km (like FS9 default). I assume that the beta doesnt include all the high detailed mesh yet?Can TDragger confirm this? Surely FSX is using 76m SRTM mesh for most of the world as baseline, with even more detailed mesh in some places eg USA?Surely 76m is baseline??? TDragger?

FSGlobal 2005 came on 2 DVDs and covered the world in 76M mesh resolution, weighing in at 12.6GB. If the FSX beta is 8.4GB, including quite a bit of data other than mesh, and that size is representative of the gold version, then it is logical that less that half of the FSX world won't have 76M mesh resolution.Gary

Agreed, unless Microsoft adds in the SRTM 76 mesh at the last minute. I doubt that is the case though. Like previous ver's I am sure there will be different mesh resolutions for different areas, like Ranier, New Guinea, etc.RhettAMD 3700+ powered by Gerbil wheel + gerbil, eVGA 7800GT 256, ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 gigs Corsair TWINX, blah blah, etc. etc.

No 76m for entire world? Bummer! :(Well at least they can do 150m?
